In a Land Not So Far Away

Once upon a time in a land not so far away, a guy met a gal. Tall (and muscley) he stood before her, using his delicate blue eyes to entrance her. She was an independent soul and stayed away from the handsome figure…except for their long walks at night. The pursuit began and suddenly her little corner of the world in what she planned on calling home for the next 4 years started overflowing with flowers and notes, which lead to hints, that lead to more surprises. Eventually, they stayed up for hours every night telling stories and using homework as a responsible excuse to be up so late. They became the best of friends. She loved the friendship she had… she thought of them as kindred spirits. But one day he walked into her room, her space, in no way apologetic for the barging and exclaimed that he would not give up. He told her she was his. She sat quietly and listened, but little did he know, she was dancing inside. Their documented story began on October 30, 2010. Naturally, in her graceful manner, she begged him not to choose this night to ask her the simple question that would make her his and only his for an indefinite amount of time. But he promised adventure and she trusted his timing was best. So she said yes and again felt reassured in his arms. However, it’s the story before that night that hasn’t been shared. It could easily be mistaken with Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, or any other Disney creation. A boy pursued a girl. The girl fell for the boy. And on December 5 their story began again when he whispered 3 little words into her ear. Of course, she gasped and exclaimed, “DON’T”, foolishly mistaken once more, for his timing he’d already proven perfect. So they live on happily…
